Finished this - took me a while, as I've been limiting my benchtime to an hour or so a day...........
The ICM T-34/76 was a real pleasure to make, the parts are clean, flash free, and the fit was excellent - no filler was used. It's a simple model & it goes together really quickly. I really enjoyed this build, made much better for me, by the use of AM tracks. The ICM vinyl tracks simply don't work for me. I sourced these from Micro Scale Design (MSD ) in Russia, so I suppose that source is now closed. The only other part I added was a plastic rod aerial. The ICM model has no interior to speak of, 2 seats, control levers & a cannon breech, but that's it, so all the hatches are closed! There's no PE, the only place that could benefit would be the large grille at the rear of the engine decking.
If you're prepared to put up with the vinyl tracks, then this model is for the beginner & the experienced modeller - source some AM tracks and I would recommend it to everybody.
Thanks to Lee for organising this GB & everyone who dropped by to see my blog
